What Is Project Central?

Data That Delivers

Build and refine strategy by accessing model data and end-user metrics directly through in-Revit dashboards.

Use Cases

Dynamic Dashboards, Detailed Data

There’s a lot of model information in your Revit projects primed to guide your BIM strategy. Project Central brings this intelligence front and center.

Projects at a Glance

Get a quick view of all elements that users have brought into the model, including the elements that are causing conflicts.

Users at a Glance

See who is in the model and how long they’ve been there, as well as which versions of Revit, Guardian, and Desktop Connector they are working from.

Timeline

View data such as file size, time to open, time to sync, warning trends, and more from filterable dashboards.

As a smaller office, my time as an architect is split between projects and BIM management. Guardian helps tremendously in taking the sins of bad modeling out of my realm of concern. While also ensuring adherence to company standards with the checking and syncing of cloud-based property settings. This gives us a consistent deliverable across projects and cuts down significant QA/QC time. The ROI is well worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to commonly asked questions about Project Central.

Does the model need to be open for me to see this data?
No. Guardian allows you to view real-time data about what’s happening in every project without needing to open the model itself. This makes troubleshooting quick and easy.
Do end-users have access to all this information?
Only if you want them to. As an admin, you can choose which parts (if any) of Project Central are available to design teams within projects. A popular use case we see is granting users insight into Sync Traffic Control™ so that they always can view who’s in the model, who’s syncing, and so on.
Will capturing all this data slow down our projects?
No. Guardian sends small bits of data in real time to a separate thread of the Revit interface. This way, there isn’t any slowdown at startup, while designers work, or during syncing.
Where is the data stored?

Guardian uses Microsoft Azure SQL servers to host the data. To set up the dashboard, all you need to do is download our template and plug in the SQL credentials we provide within your account. No additional complex or infrastructure setup is required.
